April in Portugal
Les Baxter
(Words by Jimmy Kennedy; Music by Raul Ferrao)
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like we never knew.
My head was in the clouds, My heart went crazy too,
And madly I said: «I love you.»
(Interlude)
Too soon I heard you say:
«This dream is for a day»
That’s Porugal and love in April!
And when the showers fell,
Those tears I know so well,
They told me it was spring fooling me.
I found my April dream in Portugal with you
When we discovered romance, like I never knew.
Then morning brought the rain,
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says «I love you.»
(Interlude)
This sad reality, To know it couldn’t be,
That’s Portugal and love in April!
The music and the wine convinced me you were mine,
But it was just the spring fooling me.
